-人間の完成とは -生きている時に、完全なる世界へ行ける


人間の完成とは

完成の本?とは、天以前の天であり

宇宙の本?である精と神だ

森羅万象も完成の存在であるが

完成の存在が人として?た時にのみ

森羅万象と人は完成できるのである

人は自らが?だと思っているが

自分は?像の世界に住んでいるのだから

完成そのものの存在である?でもなければ聖人でもなく

?像である??でしかない

自分が完全に死んで本?である完成の存在そのものとなり

完成に至った者がその?に生まれ?わらせ復活させ

生かしてこそ人は完成できるのである

自分が完全に死んで本物だけが?り

本物で生まれ?わってこそ?となれるのではないか

「生まれ?わる」「復活する」ということは、?物である自分の一切が消え去って

?理だけとなり、その?理によって成されるのである

その?理だけが人を?理の?に生むことができ、生かすことができるのだ

人間の完成は本物だけに?現でき

本物だけが本物の?に生かすことができる

本物だけにできることが?理である

卵にも有精卵と無精卵とがあるように

人にも?の人がいてこそ?の人を作ることができる

人は死んだら消えてしまう。?るのは宇宙だけだ

しかし神なる?理となった者は生きるであろう

本?の自分の中で?理である?魂に復活した者が

人間の完成者であり、?の人である

文と? ウ?ミョン

 

生きている時に、完全なる世界へ行ける

聖書には「天?に行くことは、ラクダが針の穴を通るよりも難しい」という喩えがある。

この言葉の意味は、人間が天?に行くのはほとんど不可能だということである。

また聖書には「心が貧しい人は幸いである。天?は彼らのものだ」という言葉もある。

ここでいう「貧しい」とは「無い」という意味であり、この言葉が?えんとするところは、

心が無ければ、本物であり本?であり神であるイエスの?に行けるということである。

だから各宗?では「心を磨きなさい」「心を無くしなさい」と?いているのである。

キリスト?その他の宗?の?いている話はみな一つである。

心が無くなってこそ、天極?に行ける。人間の心は、神であるこの世を背いている。

すなわち、神であるこの世をコピ?して自分の世界を作り、その中に生きていることが人間の罪業なのである。

この世を背いた世界を作ってそこに住んでいるから人は罪と業を背負っているのだ。

人は、罪そのものであり?像であるビデオ映像の世界と自分とを消し去ってこそ、

?像の世界であるこの世に出られ、この世と一つになれるであろう。

?理であるこの世に、人間が生きて復活する時、人間は天?に生まれ出られる。

本物が暮らす??天?に、生きている時に本物になっていない者が死んでから行くというのはまったく理屈に合 わない話ではないか。

?物は死んで無くなることがむしろ?然であろう。本物だけが本物の?に住めるのだ。

ウミョン(禹明) 韓?にて生まれる。長年にわたって生と死、人生について深い考察を重ね、1996年、?理に?して心の目を開く。同年、「マウンスリョン」を創始。現在はアメリカを中心に世界各?でセミナ?、講演等を精力的に行なっている。著書に「本物になれる所が本物だ」「生きて天の人になる方法」他多?。

-She was like a Sunflower to Me -Thank you, Mrs. Eun Mi Lee.

She was like a Sunflower to Me

Wan Sun Park

I met her after I graduated college when we were placed at the same neurosurgeon ward in a general hospital. She made wherever she went so bright like a sunflower. She lived with her father who was a teacher, and often invited me for delicious soup and rice. When she was on a night shift, she would make a fresh lunch and bring the lunch box to her father at school before she came to work. She had special warmth in her heart unlike me who had lived selfishly.

I was known as the ‘mean’ one at work. I was nitpicky on how I treated patients, and I always scolded when something was not right. I believed that was the way to care patients and the role of a competent nurse.

On the contrary, she always stood on patients and their guardians’ side, and did what they want, even if she must break the rule and be scolded from time to time. She ate food a patient with a brain tumor gave with unsanitized hands. Once, she found out an old lady who was hospitalized for a stroke lived alone. When the lady left the hospital, she visited her house to take care of her. There were more patients than usual in front of the nursery room when it was her shift. One day, she told me when we were having a cup of tea together.

“You are so friendly and funny in person, but at the hospital, you are scary.”

She was right. At that time, I liked meeting her outside, but at the hospital, she got on my nerves and I tried to avoid her. But what she said after that melted my heart at once. “You are really capable as a nurse. Can you be in charge of me if I get hospitalized? I will be so relived!”

I envied but also disliked her sincerity. Perhaps, I was jealous of what I did not have.

Soon she got married and stopped working at the hospital. She took care of her parent-in-law, raised her children, and brightened the whole family and the neighborhood with her unique sincerity and optimism. Where did her endless warmth and hospitality come from?

I asked her one day, “How can you always think of others before yourself?” And she answered, “I’ve already received too much fortune. I’m always grateful for that.”

A few days ago, all of a sudden I thought of her, and sent her a text message with a video of falling cherry blossoms. She replied with a box of pastry and a letter with flowers. As she would have done, I shared the pastry with other people. She was always grateful for what she was given. She could put others first before herself, disarm and open up anyone’s heart. I too want to be like her who brightens her surrounding like a sunflower.

Thank you, Mrs. Eun Mi Lee.

Geum Hee Cho

Mrs. Eun Mi Lee was my child’s first grade teacher. I was worried a lot whether my son will adapt to the school life well since he was raised in a small rural city by his grandma. However, he was fortunate enough to meet Mrs. Lee.

Mrs. Lee did not have any judgments or preconceptions on parents or children. One time, I said I was worried about a boy in a class because he did not get along with other children in the class, and Mrs. Lee asked me to let go of the thought that every child must get along with everyone. She asked to wait though he seems to fall behind. It was a surprising answer. Even after that advice, Mrs. Lee helped me let go of my growing greed and anxiety on my son.

Mrs. Lee was like a friend to parents. I would call her to talk about my son but end up being on the phone over two hours talking about family issues. It felt like there was no wall between her and parents. Whenever I was frustrated with financial problems, my husband and my son, I felt relieved after talking to Mrs. Lee.

In fact, Mrs. Lee too had a hard time as a mother of a child. Perhaps because she experienced such hardship, she understood parents’ mind so well not just as a teacher but also as a mother. Because of her, many parents who tend to neglect school related events became much involved to.

For instance, at the beginning of a new semester, mothers from Mrs. Lee’s class from last year voluntarily came to the school to clean classrooms and hallways, even though all the children in Mrs. Lee’s class were assigned to different classes. No one could deny that such change of the parents was because of Mrs. Lee, and I myself changed too.

My attitude towards other people changed even to those who had different opinions from mine. At a parent’s meeting, when someone said an opposing idea, I often thought ‘what is she saying? That clearly does not make any sense.’ But now, before I judge others I look back on myself first, and remind myself ‘this is my own judgment.’ Also, for mothers who are too busy to participate school events such as cafeteria duties, other parents take care of not just their own children but those of the busy mothers; they call their names and give them ample amount of food. Since everyone takes care other children too, there is no wall among mothers. We learned all of these from Mrs. Lee.

“Mrs. Lee Eun Mi, Thank you very much. I am grateful to have met you.”

-There is a wall between people? No! The wall was never there.

There is a wall between people? No! The wall was never there.

I started business after I graduated college.

I was outgoing and people said I was meant to do business.

Then, eight years later, things began to fall apart.

I was frustrated and tired, and at last, I even began to dislike meeting people.

Why don’t they understand me? Why are they so selfish?

I blamed the way people treat me, but in fact, that was the way I behave.

So I decided to knock down the wall I build between others and me brick by brick.

Min Gu, Huh   3 Steps to Candid and Comfortable Relationship

Step 1

Look carefully:

where did my wall

come from?

How does it look like?

Around the time my life began to fall apart, my senior alumnus I respected died of liver cancer. Two days before he passed away, he called me and gave me an advice.

“As I look back on my life of 44 years, it feels like a dream. Money, work and such are important, but do not forget to reflect on yourself.”

I very much liked him as a role model, and it was a great shock to lose him so sudden. The sudden lost kept me from doing anything, even my work I valued so much. So I put everything aside and head to Maum Meditation Center. There, I could found the reason of my struggle, the fortified wall which I built against the world. I was 35 years old.

★ I saw people as means of achieving my goals.

I looked back on the way I treated people. I regarded everyone as a tool to achieve my goal. I had approached people around me as if I was a good person, but in fact, it was to fill my selfishness deep inside. I never cared for others truly, nor loved them with my whole heart.

★ Money was everything

I was eager to earn a lot of money. I worked as an employee but also had my own business. I even invested in stocks. I was greedy and wanted to do so many things. However, my stock crashed and my business did not go well. Soon I was in a huge debt. A friend whom I trusted betrayed me, but that friend was a reflection of me. I also could betray someone as he did because money was more important than people. As I look back, I sought for money because of my feeling of inferiority and guilt. Money was everything to me, and so I never could have a true relationship with others.

★ Everything was other people’s fault

When things did not turn out the way I wanted, I blamed others. I blamed the circumstance, my teammates, or my clients. Everything but me was to blame. I am working so diligently, but why do they not follow the way I want? All I did was complaining. I should be respected the most. Only I am right. I must stand above everyone else. Only me, me, me. That was how I built my wall.

Step 2

Knock Down

the Walls

I Found

I looked at my life as if I watched a soap opera. I could see how I who was the main character treated others in every incident. How could that kid called Min Gu Huh could behave like that? I was the worst person in the world. I was proud, greedy, stubborn and selfish, and I only cared for myself. I burst into tears. I could not lift my head in front of those whom I hurt.

One by one, I threw away money, selfishness and blame on others that filled my mind. As I continue on, at a certain point, a great appreciation to those who stood by me arouse, and I felt so refreshed as if a gust of wind went through my body. I knew the wall had fallen down. I found the answer to a good life.

The method to knock down the wall within me is the true self-reflection and sincere repentance.

Step 3

There never was a wall

among people!

Approach others

sincerely/openly.

There never was a wall among people from the beginning. All of us are one existence from one origin. I realized a wall was what I created. No one is better or worse. Naturally, I started to respect others. I moved to a new company in 2006. My mindset as a salesman changed, and my reputation also improved.

★ I am a ‘helper’

I did not hold performance utmost. I thought myself as a ‘helper’. Before, when I met clients I was busy talking what I need to talk, but now I ask first if there is anything I can help or any inconvenience, and listen to my clients. Even though there is no immediate profit, I did my best to help others. I did not ask for too much, and left the result to heaven. It was I who felt invigorated as I work for others. As I appreciate people, I began to enjoy meeting people, and we could trust each other. As a result people came to me first, and I had higher chance to succeed a deal. When I asked why they chose me, they say “I felt honesty. I thought I would not regret if I trusted you.” I became so-called ‘business king’ which I had yearned to be, and I also could pay my debt.

★ Lowering myself

You cannot approach other people if you do not knock down your wall. If you think ‘that person must be going through the same hardship as I am’, then you want to help others and can approach them. When you are in conflict with someone, try to look at the situation objectively instead of your subjective point of view. If you cannot understand, ask. Then you can resolve the misunderstanding, and this can be a chance to understand each other better. People say a sales team and a technical team in every company are like water and oil. It is often said that a salesman feeds three workers of the company, and so salesmen are proud of their position. So, when they ask for help, other departments are not willing to help them.

So I tell my teammates. First, we should be honest about our situation, and lower ourselves. “I really don’t understand this part. I feel embarrassed to hold this job even thought I don’t understand this. So please help me. Then we learn at least one more thing, and how great it would be if we can succeed one more deal as a result.” Let’s approach each other with honesty.

In fact, as I open myself and sincerely ask for help, the other person opened his mind too. Thanks to this mindset, everyone in my company and departments work in harmony. If I first put down my wall and approach others, then their walls also fall down.

and in a workplace is like an elder brother.”

Park Hyun Soo (32) has been in the sales department

for only few months, but was able to increase sale

with the help of Mr. Huh. He says he wants to be like Mr. Huh

who asks and helps people in need of help.

-An Honest Relationship Depends on How Much I Open My Mind-SNS: communication by the people and for the people

1. We Go to the Library Together, Have Lunch Together,

and Share Our Daily Lives

Since I was little, I have had many opportunities to meet friends from different cultures. I lived with a Japanese family for a while, and traveled to more than 20 countries as an exchange student. I met many people, and from this I learned sincerity is the key when starting a new relationship. When I think of them as my second family and open my mind, they too open their mind. Sharing a daily routine is the first and the most important step; for example, going to a grocery store or the library together. For foreign friends with whom you cannot communicate well, visiting their house and preparing a meal they will like are good ways to become closer: perhaps Bibimbab, a traditional Korean dish with assorted vegetables and rice for a friend who likes vegetables, or Gimbap, a Korean style sushi, for those who like salmon. When you start talking while you share recipes, you and your friend’s minds will open up to each other, and you will become a real family.

2. Trust comes from the workplace that is more than a place for work;

it can involve the families as well.

A workplace can be more than just a place for work;

by involving the families it can establish trust between workers as well.

Office work is difficult not because of the work, but mainly because of the relationships between people. For the past two years, I have been thinking about what would make people communicate without conflict. The answer I found was ‘take interest in little things first’. When I paid close attention to my co-workers and made a compliment like “you look good today” or “that new shirt suits you well”, it was easy to start a conversation, and there was a lot we could talk about. I would often ask how their parents are doing or what their children’s names are, and after being introduced to their spouses I would also send them cheerful messages. When I train new interns to be reporters I use this method also. The training sessions are very difficult, and about half of new reporters drop out during their training period. However, I find that when I send messages to their parents such as “your child is doing well, my thanks to you for rearing them so well,” the majority of the interns do not give up but finish the training session instead. If our workplace becomes not just a place where we work, but a place that shows concern for our beloved family then our trust between each other will grow stronger.

3. An Affectionate Word Begins a Good Relationship

I run an educational institute, and often some students miss classes. When I call those people to ask for their reasons for being absent, I usually ask how they are doing instead of bluntly asking for a reason. When I ask them face to face if they had any private issues or if they were not feeling well, I feel much closer to them. I learned how to talk to people based on my own experience. I, too, had times when I could not come to an appointment because my work was too busy. In such cases it was better to hear “are you busy”, or “are you having hard time at work? I miss you. Let’s have a dinner some time” than a blunt, accusing question like “why didn’t you come?” When I ask students whether or not they had lunch, or tell them feel free to have something from the refrigerator and treat them with ease, they say they feel very comfortable, as if they are around a family member, and they come to classes more often. And even when they cannot come, they call in advance to tell me not to worry. It may seem like a small thing but a single word said with caring can bring people together.

Opening a New Channel

to a Wider and More Diverse Relationship among People

SNS: communication by the people and for the people

Young Dae Song Head of Happiness Management Research Center. @SongYoungDae

Social Networking Services(SNS) are becoming more than a trend;

they are now a central part of our lifestyle.

Many people communicate through SNS such as Facebook, Blogster, and Twitter.

I myself started using Twitter last February.

When I ended my fifteen years of service as an IT engineer

and started the second chapter of life as an entrepreneur, Twitter became a very helpful partner.

I met role models and mentors through Twitter,

from whom I am continuously learning and receiving priceless advice.

Twitter gives an environment for ordinary people to easily communicate, through short messages called tweets, with celebrities whom they respect and want to be close to, but otherwise could not. Therefore, it widens people’s perspective on the world, breaking the wall they have lived behind. It is people who make the world of SNS. So here are a few ways to form a healthy online relationship.

Read and

Respond

When you upload a tweet, you would expect your followers (people who follow your tweets) to respond to your tweet. We, too, should respond to other’s tweets quickly, but first we should try not to teach or criticize, even though the writer has a different point of view. Diverse perspectives will break your prejudices and widen your own perspective.

Learn and

Share

You can find out a lot of information about meetings and seminars on Twitter. Attend these events frequently and upload what you have learned on Twitter. It will give you a chance to communicate with people who have similar experiences, and you can make pleasant relationships naturally. I have made many good relationships with people whom I would have not met outside of Twitter; such as celebrities, entrepreneurs, politicians, writers, and broadcasters. Twitter can be a bridge connecting people in different fields when they need each other’s help.

Make a

meaningful

communication

According to one set of statistics on the usage of Twitter, 40.55% of people use Twitter for meaningless communication, 37.55% for mutual communication, 8.7% for meaningful communication, 5.85% for self-development, and 3.75% of the use is spam or viruses and 3.6% is news.

Although the connection between people tends to not be very strong on Twitter, you could use the service for self-development and actually form strong, meaningful relationships with your new friends, making Twitter into a magic lantern to call on them for their help to achieve whatever you want. But you must remember that sincerity is the key among people even in online relationships.
